Re: \" Brush guns \"

Welcome to the forums 7th I totally agree with Strut and you on this. If you are using buckshot, this changes things some. It still doesn't mean that waiting for a clearer shot doesn't mean alot. I see that most replies are the same, wait for a clear, better shot, or don't shoot at all

Have always heard the 30-30 is the best brush gun, but the slow velocity seems to me it would be easier deflected. I shoot my .270 for up close and out far shots, both in the woods and over open fields. Has proven pretty versatile with the 150 grain core lokts for me.

The 30-30 is one of the best brush guns ...but that is because it is light short and fast handeling, not because the bullet willl actualy go through brush.

There isn't a cartridge that will successfully punch through brush, you might get lucky, but....i doubt it. Wait for a clear shot. Brush guns, that to me means something that will handle quick, reload quick, and really pack a wallop at close range. I would say 30-30, .300 savage, 45-70 (my top pick), .444 marlin, .450 marlin, ect. I think the 45-70 is the perfect close range thumper for any game, especially if its loaded right, you can even make 250 yards shots with the right loads.

I like to use a 35 remington and shot size depending on how far your shooting.I like to use something a little bigger for farther shots.

I have used a 45-70 lever gun (1873 Guide) for the past 4 years. While no rond is good at going through brush this is as close as it gets. I put a burris 4x32 on her and I love it. Cant wait to take another wv deer.
